My son needs to make a model of a DNA strand (double helix)for science class. Has anyone out there done this, and what are the best craft items to use for this type of model?

CANDY! Round candies like jaw breakers and lemon heads glued together in "globs" with a sugar and water paste make great molecules. While strands of Twizzlers wrapped around each other are great to connect them.
Or for something normal little styrofoam balls painted to necessary colors work just as well with little rounded sticks you can get from anywhere (Michaels, Walmart, Target) work well too.

You can use pony beads and pipe cleaners pretty easily.
